Colombia Geotechnical Instrumentation and Monitoring (GI&M) market has been witnessing significant growth in recent years, largely driven by an upsurge in construction activities. The construction sector recorded a 17% quarter-on-quarter increase in Q1 2021, marking the third consecutive quarter of growth, up from a marginal 0.1% rise in Q4 2020. This construction boom has created heightened demand for GI&M systems, which are critical for monitoring ground conditions, managing seismic risks, and ensuring safety, stability, and regulatory compliance in large-scale infrastructure projects.
The expansion of Colombia’s GI&M market is further accelerated by key infrastructure modernization programs, such as the 5G concession program launched in 2020, focusing on the development of highways, railways, and airports. In addition, the rapidly growing mining sector, which accounted for 19% of foreign direct investment in 2023, continues to fuel demand for geotechnical solutions. Notable projects, including the San Juan, Cañaverales, and Papayal mines, are driving the need for advanced GI&M technologies such as inclinometers and piezometers to mitigate risks and ensure stability.
According to the research, the Colombia Geotechnical Instrumentation and Monitoring Market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% from 2024 to 2030. The construction and infrastructure sectors will remain the primary growth drivers, supported by large-scale projects under the 5G concession program, such as the Pasto-Popayán and Villeta-Guaduas highways, with concession terms of 30 and 29 years, respectively. These initiatives underscore the critical need for extensive geotechnical monitoring to ensure the safe execution and operational efficiency of such projects.
Furthermore, the upcoming expansion of the New Cartagena International Airport, scheduled to commence operations in 2033, will require sophisticated GI&M systems to monitor soil stability, seismic activity, and ground movements, further boosting market demand.
